But seriously - Last few years I've been reminiscing about how much I enjoyed the UnderDog cartoons as a child so I went and bought a DVD set to give to my 5 year daughter last month. Amazing how much better they were in my memories.

I've done that to myself time and time again El. Robotech wasn't nearly as fantastic as I remember as a kid, and there were certainly some "Seriously...how did I like this at all?" moments in the Transformers box set. Still...can't regret owning either.

I felt that way about both Speed Racer and Battle of the Planets. Oh, and bigtime with the Transformers movie- I watched it a few years ago, and it was just terrible.

Robotech has held up pretty well, I think. But even as a kid, all that crap with Minmei was annoying as hell. I remember going to school kind of shellshocked when...

Spoiler for Hiden:

Roy died, and later when Max died.

...but it showed me how powerful a story can be when a firmly established character gets killed off. Pretty good lesson, and certainly not something you would learn from GI Joe or whatever.

Oh god! Robotech? Are you sure? That's another one that's still awesome in my memories. I remember literally running home from school every day so I could be home in time to watch it.
